Indigenous Elders launch campaign to tackle youth suicide

In some remote communities in the Kimberley, youth suicide rates have reached 100 times the national average. Aboriginal Elders are now taking their fight to tackle the problem all the way to Canberra.

Aboriginal Elders from across Australia have united to tackle the alarming rate of Indigenous youth suicide.

The Elders have written a report and launched a campaign to lobby Canberra for a new approach they hope could save a generation.

In Western Australia's Kimberley, 'Culture is Life' Director Max Dulumunmun Harrison has spent half of his 80 years taking young men bush, teaching them the key to life -- Aboriginal law, culture and connection to land.
